Aunt Anns Easy Artichoke Dip

1. 1

   Get out your blender!

2. 2

   Start with chopping the atrichoke hearts in the blender.

3. 3

   I prefer the seasoned kind, but either way, drain them before blending.

4. 4

   Add in the sour cream and Hidden Valley Ranch packet.

5. 5

   Blend until the dressing is thoroughly distributed.

6. 6

   Add cream cheese and blend.

7. 7

   (Really, you can do this in any order, but I like to start with the artichoke hearts and get the dressing packet in early so it isnt sitting at the top of the blender.)

8. 8

   Once thoroughly blended, stir in parmesan cheese.

9. 9

   Take an oven/microwave-friendly dish and line it with parmesan cheese, then begin layering the dip adding as much cheese as you like.

10. 10

    You can bake it until warm or heat it up in the microwave.

11. 11

    While heating, cut up bread.

12. 12

    (Baguettes, torn bread or round cut bread are great with this!)

13. 13

    Serve.

14. 14

    Reheat sporadically until done, and stir in more cheese as you see fit.

15. 15

    Be astonished at how quickly it goes, and always save a little for yourself.

16. 16

    This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, and reheats with a similar consistency, give or take any bread left swimming in it!
